It is because the "environment of mainstream commercial software development" is stuck in "8-10" back from now. > Even wars like "do we use exceptions/templates/stl" are pretty much > over. Now days it's "do we use Boost", or "do we use template > metaprogramming". But even more often it's Java/C# vs. C++. Now that's a stupid argument to bring up. Commercial software development is were the most stupid mistakes are done and repeated. > That's why I was wondering how come C was chosen for Git. "Just to annoy mainstream commercial software developers" would be a good reason.
